{"product_id":"the-philosophy-of-praxis-isbn-9781781681725","title":"The Philosophy Of Praxis","description":"The early Marx called for the “realization of philosophy” through revolution. Revolution thus became a critical concept for Marxism, a view elaborated in the later praxis perspectives of Lukács and the Frankfurt School. These thinkers argue that fundamental philosophical problems are, in reality, social problems abstractly conceived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Originally published as Lukács, Marx and the Sources of Critical Theory, The Philosophy of Praxis traces the evolution of this argument in the writings of Marx, Lukács, Adorno and Marcuse. This\u003cbr\u003e reinterpretation of the philosophy of praxis shows its continuing relevance to contemporary discussions in Marxist political theory, continental philosophy and science and technology studies.“Feenberg’s subtle and wide-ranging study of Lukács’ History and Class Consciousness teaches forward to Marcuse and the Frankfurt School and backwards into Marx’s 1844 manuscripts. The book offers a whole new framework in which to grasp the history of Marxist theory, at the same time restoring Marcuse’s centrality in it.” —Fredric Jameson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A vigorous and thoughtful reassessment of both Lukács and the Western Marxist\u003cbr\u003e tradition … of great interest to anyone interested in critical theory or continental\u003cbr\u003e philosophy.” —Robert Pippin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A model of lucid and sophisticated intellectual history.\"—Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Feenberg achieves his goal of demonstrating the relevance of seemingly dusty and abstract philosophical conundrums not only to contemporary social theory but to politics as well.\"—\u003ci\u003eAmerican Political Science Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Feenberg's] sensitive and intelligent treatment of a complex constellation of interrelated problems in Marxist studies should commend his book to a wide audience of interested scholars.\"—\u003ci\u003eMan and World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Poses the central problem of history in such a way that every reader can identify its elements….
